Plant & Soil Stimulant | 100 % Natural Smoke Extract

FUTURE SOIL® WOOD VINEGAR is a concentrated bio-stimulant produced by condensing natural smoke during controlled pyrolysis of clean Australian biomass, including nutrient-rich poultry litter feedstocks.

Rich in organic acids, phenols, and esters, the same compounds associated with post-fire regrowth, it stimulates soil biology, improves nutrient efficiency, and supports stronger plant development across a wide range of systems.

Key Benefits

✓ Accelerates early plant establishment

✓ Stimulates beneficial soil biology

✓ Improves nutrient uptake efficiency

✓ Supports stronger root development

✓ Enhances recovery from heat, transplant, and pruning stress

✓ Helps suppress soil-borne disease pressure

✓ Improves composting speed and odour control

✓ Compatible with organic and regenerative systems

 

SAFETY AND STORAGE

Ph 6.5

Safe for plants, animals, and people when used as directed.

Store sealed, out of direct sunlight, between 5 and 35 °C.

Shelf life: 24 months unopened.

How it Works

WOOD VINEGAR works through low-molecular organic compounds produced during pyrolysis. These compounds act as biological signals rather than nutrients.

When diluted and applied, they stimulate beneficial microbial activity, improve nutrient mobility, and support root function. The result is earlier biological activation and more efficient plant development without forcing growth.

Who is it For?

WOOD VINEGAR is used across a wide range of agricultural and horticultural systems, including:

  • Market gardens and organic production
  • Orchards, vineyards, and tree crops
  • Broadacre and regenerative farming
  • Nurseries and propagation houses
  • Hydroponic and controlled environments
  • Turf, lawns, and landscapes
  • Composting, manure, and waste management
  • Livestock and poultry sheds

Application Guide

Always dilute before use. Test on a small area before broad application.

  • Foliar spray: 1:200 to 1:500
  • Soil drench or fertigation: 1:300 to 1:500
  • Seed soak or cuttings: 1:500 to 1:800
  • Compost and odour control: 1:50 to 1:100
  • Sheds and bedding: 1:50 to 1:100

Avoid application during peak heat or direct midday sun.

Field Results

Independent studies and field trials report:

  • Earlier establishment and improved early vigour
  • Biomass and yield increases at optimal dilution
  • Improved soil biological activity at low soil application rates
  • Reduced ammonia and methane emissions in compost and manure systems, particularly when combined with biochar

FAQ's

1. What is wood vinegar?

Wood vinegar, also known as pyroligneous acid, is the liquid condensate captured during controlled pyrolysis of plant biomass. It contains organic acids, phenols, and other bioactive compounds that act as natural biostimulants.

2. How does it work in soil?

When diluted and applied, it stimulates beneficial microbes, improves nutrient cycling, and enhances plant uptake efficiency without adding fertiliser nutrients.

3. Is it a fertiliser?

No. Wood vinegar is a biostimulant. It improves how plants use existing nutrients rather than supplying nutrients itself.

4. What systems benefit most?

It is suitable for vegetables, orchards, vineyards, turf, lawns, broadacre crops, nurseries, composting systems, and regenerative farming.

5. Can it damage plants?

Yes if over-applied. Wood vinegar is naturally acidic and must always be diluted and applied outside peak heat.

6. Can it be mixed with other products?

Compatible with compost teas, seaweed, humic acids, and most organic fertilisers. Avoid alkaline inputs.

7. Does it replace compost or biochar?

No. Compost supplies nutrients, biochar provides structure, and wood vinegar activates biological processes. They work best together.

8. Is it organic and safe?

Yes. Derived from untreated biomass and accepted under most organic standards. Safe for people and animals when diluted correctly.

9. What results should I expect?

Users commonly observe earlier establishment, improved root development, better nutrient efficiency, reduced odours, and improved compost performance when used correctly.
